Who here remembers Andrea Yates who murdered her five children by drowning them back in 2001? She was later found not guilty by reason of insanity and institutionalized until present.

No individual or group came out in public support of what she did back then.

I sort of remember the name.

On July 26, 2006, a Texas jury in her retrial found that Yates was not guilty by reason of insanity. She was consequently committed by the court to the high-security North Texas State Hospital in Vernon,[5] where she received medical treatment and was a roommate of Dena Schlosser, another woman who committed infanticide by killing her infant daughter. In January 2007, Yates was moved to Kerrville State Hospital, a low-security state mental hospital in Kerrville, Texas.[6][7]

Yates admitted to an inmate that she was faking her “illness.”
